I just handled a Sony RX-100 & not happy. :(

I was looking forward to handling the new RX-100. Well today I visited a camera store and held an RX-100 in my hands.

Do companies actually get photographers to handle the prototypes before they go into production. The front of the camera where your fingers grip the camera is as slippery as any surface I have felt, how about at least a little bit of texture or rubber. No wonder that company is selling the extra grip to stick onto the front of the camera.

I don't have big hands but it is just too small to handle comfortably.

Sorry to be a downer but I was really looking forward to this camera to replace my old Panasonic TZ-7. So I would advise anyone to actually handle the camera before you decide to buy it.
